I think the struct module is what you're after.
Example of usage:
>>> from struct import *
>>> pack('hhl', 1, 2, 3)
'\x00\x01\x00\x02\x00\x00\x00\x03'
>>> unpack('hhl', '\x00\x01\x00\x02\x00\x00\x00\x03')
(1, 2, 3)
>>> calcsize('hhl')

they're all binary already... Which language are we talking about?
I'd start by looking at the string as an array of characters and working with each character individually.
